What is the story about?
FWICE's ban on Dhurandhar star, Ranveer Singh amid 'Don 3' row is just an eye-wash and the old Bollywood establishment is using a labour union and it just shows how ruthless this syndicate is. The main person enforcing ban is Ashok Pandit. But the obvious question is how powerful is this Bollywood syndicate and does it have the power to override ideologies?
Though many believe that Aditya Dhar is the main target and that the traditional Bollywood eco-system is absolutely terrified of Dhar because he is proving their decades old narrative as wrong. Many also believe, like the editor of ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ believe as a selective outrage against Ranveer Singh.
What Poonam Dhillon said…
Poonam Dhillon, President of another film body, CINTAA (Cine and TV Artists’ Association), called FWICE’s ban on Ranveer “strange” and claimed that the actor should’ve come to them for support. “What is happening is something very ugly, and it goes well beyond one lobby trying to fix another very powerful lobby. There should be no political ideology when it comes to entertainment and when it comes to the careers of not just one star, but an entire sub-industry of technicians and others who are really badly hit by the so-called ban or refusal to cooperate,” argued Shobhaa.
Shobhaa De’s take on the Ranveer Singh Vs Farhan Akhtar’s conflict
The veteran author also said that the recent ‘ban’ by a film body also seems to be an ‘ugly conspiracy’ against not only Ranveer, but also the makers of his latest blockbuster spy thriller franchise, Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar.
“Ranveer has enhanced his own brand appeal. Ranveer Singh is sensible, clever, well-advised. He’s holding his silence. He’s keeping quiet, letting his fans and followers fight his battles for him,” said Shobhaa in an Instagram reel she put out on Wednesday evening. “What Ranveer has successfully done by keeping quiet is enhance his own brand appeal and also his popularity,” she added.
So, the obvious question that comes to our mind is, was the huge success of Ranveer Singh and Aditya Dhar's Durandhar 2 the main reason behind the actor's ban? Time to think!
